Chapter 919: Fenglin Volcano!
In the third month of the national war, Ekaterina added 60,000 troops and reorganized the Tsarist Guard and a group of cavalry.
Part of the matchlock guns needed by the Tsarist Guard can be supplied at the Level 9 Firearms Workshop.
Chutian's troops reached 180,000, leaving 30,000 troops to defend the city, and sent 150,000 troops to attack Oda Nobunaga.
Ekaterina followed with 60,000 troops.
The two combined a total of 210,000 troops.
Ekaterina has her own pride and wants to squeeze into the top ten. After all, she has too many enemies. If she doesn't have a certain strength to protect herself in the main world, the empire she built may be destroyed.
The 210,000-strong army is mighty, with dragon and eagle flags waving.
When Chutian's army came out of the city, the Iga ninja who was hiding not far away immediately reacted and went back to report to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"Chu Zimou really came to attack us, and sent someone to tell Caesar and Constantine that the Romans must be dragged into the water, otherwise we may be destroyed by Chu Zimou."
Takeda Zhongyi heard that Chutian was mobilizing troops, so he immediately sent someone to inform Caesar and Constantine, thinking that only these two emperors could stop Chutian's army.
"We cannot completely rely on the Romans. We must rely on our own strength to repel Chu Zimou."
Oda Nobunaga put on his cloak and prepared to lead the Japanese army to attack.
Uesugi Kenshin, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Kobayakawa Ketaka, Tachibana Michiyuki, Shibata Katsuie and other Japanese daimyos or generals took up their samurai swords one after another and fought to the death.
If they were completely defeated by Chutian, then they would not only be eliminated, but also lose confidence in fighting Chutian in the main world.
Correspondingly, if they can win, then maybe they can gain confidence in facing Chutian, at least they won't turn into a one-sided massacre.
"A few years ago, we suffered under his hands. Today, we will definitely ask for advice again." Uesugi Kenshin looked at Takeda Tadyoshi, "I heard that Tiger is seriously ill, you should have inherited Tiger's 'Fenglin Volcano' ability, Do not disappoint me."
Takeda Tadyoshi is a little in awe of the "Dragon of Echigo" Uesugi Kenshin.
Kenshin Uesugi, the Dragon of Echigo, and Shingen Takeda, the Tiger of Kai, are evenly matched rivals. When the two powers compete, it gives Oda Nobunaga a chance to rise.
Oda Nobunaga relied on the population advantage and player support, and then provoked the relationship between the two, and joined forces with Tokugawa Ieyasu. Takeda Shingen was seriously ill, and he was unable to prevent the rise of Oda Nobunaga.
Takeda Tadyoshi inherited the position of Takeda Family Governor, and also inherited Takeda Shingen's characteristic "Fenglin Volcano".
"Fenglin Volcano" is a more interesting feature, which comes from "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and has four different states.
First, it is as fast as the wind, marching speed +10%, forced marching speed +20%, battlefield maneuvering speed +15%, and adverse terrain effects -20%.
Second, Xu Rulin's army formation maintenance +40% is not easy to cause unfavorable states such as confusion or fear.
Third, the invasion is like fire, the army's attack power +30%, attack speed +10%, and the enemy's morale decline rate +15%.
Fourth, as immovable as a mountain, defense power +40%, morale decline speed -30%.
"Fenglin Volcano" has four effects, but the limitation is that only one effect can be applied at a time, that is to say, the leader needs to decide to apply one of the four effects to his legion according to the ever-changing battlefield situation.
Although only one effect can be applied, it has higher practical value. "Fenglin Volcano" is already one of the most powerful characteristics of the Dongying Civilization Area.
That's why Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen are considered to be the dragons and tigers of the Eastern Warring States Period.
Takeda Tadyoshi, who has inherited this characteristic, has a not so relaxed expression, because the enemy he is about to face is the most powerful lord of the Han Empire.
The characteristics of "Fenglin Volcano" still come from "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Takeda Tadyoshi has reason to suspect that "Fenglin Volcano" is just a characteristic of Sun Tzu.
"We must wait until the Romans send troops before we can fight Chu Zimou, otherwise we will go to die."
Takeda Zhongyi still thinks that we should wait until the arrival of the legions of the two Roman emperors,
Only then can he compete with Chu Tian.
Neither Caesar nor Constantine has a legion that is inferior to Oda Nobunaga's.
"Wu Tian, do you think too highly of Chu Zimou? In order to defeat King Yue Hu, he lost a lot, and his strength should not be much larger than ours. There may be tens of thousands more, but it is definitely not ten times the gap in the main world."
Tachibana Doxue thinks that Takeda Zhongyi is a little overrated by Chutian.
"This is not a matter of size, but his terrifying iron cavalry, which combines several terrifying heavy cavalry. The cavalry we can take out is only red. Therefore, I suggest sticking to the city and waiting for Rome If people come to support him, Chu Zimou must retreat."
"The Takeda family, who has always been brave and good at fighting, chose to defend Gucheng to the death..."
All the daimyos and generals were somewhat surprised by Takeda Tadyoshi's choice.
The choice of Takeda Tadyoshi already regarded himself as an absolute disadvantaged position, so he chose to stick to it.
"If the Romans don't come to our aid, we will be forced to leave this place."
Oda Nobunaga was already ready to fight in the wild, but Takeda Tadyoshi's suggestion made Oda Nobunaga hesitate, wondering whether he should act like this.
"Trust my judgment, the Romans will come to our relief."
"Since this is the case, then we choose to fight uselessly."
Oda Nobunaga considered the strength comparison, and finally agreed to Takeda Tadyoshi's turtle tactics.
The tortoise tactic looks useless, but in fact, it is often very practical.
Teams of soldiers and horses from the Japanese shogunate ascended the city, the flags of various daimyo were planted on the city wall, archers and arquebus gunners were in place, and the bed crossbows were carried by the samurai to the city wall to strengthen the defense.
Some warriors even wrapped stones in coarse cloth and used them as throwing weapons.
Tachibana Daoxue stood on the city wall, looking into the distance, the Han army was approaching the city.
Strictly speaking, this is the first serious battle between the two civilizations.
The Japanese shogunate once again tried to challenge the status of the suzerain.
"Your Majesty, the army of the lord of the Han Empire is leaving the city, marching in the direction of the city where the shogun Oda Nobunaga resides!"
The scout cavalry deployed by Queen Isabella of the Kingdom of Spain noticed Chutian's intention to attack Oda Nobunaga.
"Damn it, this guy doesn't pay attention to me at all."
As one of the strong women, Isabella was ignored by Chu Tian many times.
Chu Tian attacked Yue Hu Wang under Isabella's nose, and sent troops to attack Oda Nobunaga, and really regarded Isabella as air.
Even though Spain is not a large civilization because of its population size, it still has a glorious history such as "The Armada", "Opening of New Sea Routes", and "Spanish Phalanx", and Isabella is also angry when it is ignored like this.
"Cordoba, assemble an army and intervene in the battle between Chutian and Oda Nobunaga!"
Isabella recruited a Spanish general, Gonzalo de Cordoba, founder of the Spanish phalanx, and it became, in her opinion, a battle of dignity.
Cordoba cautiously asked Isabella for instructions: "Your Majesty, do we really want to intervene in the war between the eastern lords? I am afraid that our Spanish phalanx may not be able to defeat the first lord of the Han Empire. If we lose , may be eliminated.”
Isabella regained her composure after being reminded by the famous Spanish general Cordoba.
The decisive battle between Chutian and Oda Nobunaga may be quite brutal. After all, the Romans may also intervene in the war.
Once multiple forces get involved in a big war, the tragedy may be unimaginable.
"This is probably the helplessness of medium-sized civilizations."
Although Isabella was angry that Chutian ignored her, she was helpless because Chutian was stronger, and only those with stronger strength had the right to speak.
In the lord world, kingdoms with a population of less than 10 million are considered small kingdoms or duchies, civilizations with a population of 10-30 million are considered medium-sized kingdoms, and kingdoms with a population of more than 30 million are already at the level of large kingdoms or empires.
Isabella's Spanish kingdom is between a small kingdom and a large kingdom, and the right to speak is neither too big nor too small.
"The north may be Tuo Lei, the west may be Umayyad, and the east may be Alexander. How can I break the situation..."
Isabella fell silent.
When Isabella was hesitating, the combined forces of Chutian and Ekaterina had already approached the city of Oda Nobunaga, and the 210,000 troops stretched endlessly. The field of vision of Iga Ninja has been compressed to this city. nearby.
Chutian brought a large number of siege crossbows and trebuchet parts, as well as Hongyi cannons.
Originally, Chu Tian thought that Oda Nobunaga would choose to fight in the wild, but looking at it now, Oda Nobunaga chose the safest way - defending the city.
The battle in the field turned into a siege battle. For Chutian, the loss of troops may be even more.
"Build trebuchets, set up siege crossbows and red cannons."
Chutian is no stranger to siege warfare. With the Hongyi cannon, Chutian's siege firepower is stronger. The combination of bows and arrows, catapults, and Hongyi cannon is enough to suppress the defenders' bows and arrows.
"The Romans may send troops to assist Oda Nobunaga, and a reserve army must be left behind."
Chu Tian camped under Oda Nobunaga's city, which was a preview of the future crusade against Japan. It would be best if some of Japan's trump cards could be played.
What disturbed Chu Tian was the two major lords in the east——Caesar and Constantine.
In this siege, Geng Yan served as the main siege general, and Wu Qi defended the camp outside the city, guarding against the Roman legion that might support Oda Nobunaga at any time.
The Dongpu defenders were displayed on the city wall, extremely nervous, and they could already see the Han and Russian troops stretching endlessly.
"Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, my ability 'Fenglin Volcano', this time I can only choose the state of 'Mountainless' in this battle."
Before the start of the battle, Takeda Tadyoshi took the lead in converting the "Fenglin Volcano" feature added to the Takeda Legion to the "Mountainless Mountain" state, improving the defense of the legion and reducing the rate of morale decline.
"The Han Empire, according to other people, is an insurmountable mountain for us."
On the sixth day, the demon king Oda Nobunaga also saw the endless Han army.
